SYDNEY, Jan 8 ― Tennis world number one Novak Djokovic began a third day in Australian immigration detention today, joined by Czech women's player Renata Voracova as a blame game between Australian authorities over handling of Covid-19 vaccine exemptions gathered steam.
His lawyers are preparing a legal challenge to his visa cancellation, which is scheduled to go to a federal court hearing on Monday, and have been given until Saturday evening, local time, to file a summary of their case. The Australian newspaper reported that Djokovic had requested access to his chef and a tennis court while in detention but that his request was denied.
After News Corp papers published a document from Tennis Australia apparently advising players on ways to enter the country with a medical exemption from vaccination, the organising body said it never knowingly misled players and had always urged players to be vaccinated.
